*T^O supply the intending visitor with a

line suggestion of its infinite and excelling 
attractions and advantages — this sum-

and happy host.

women, for happy homes and loving 
hearts, for business and for hospi-

LOUISVILLE: A MANUAL OF FACTS. 




First appeared Dr. John Connolly in 1773 who lo- 
cated 2,000 acres — his due for military services — on the 
South side of the Ohio, immediately opposite the 
Falls. Thomas Bullitt was with him and made a 
survey, and on December 10, 1773, Lord Dunmore 
executed the deed. Connolly conveyed 1,000 acres 
to John Campbell, who had meanwhile arrived, and 
they undertook to build the town which Bullitt had 
planned. Trouble arose between the Colonies and 
Great Britian and Connolly, an English adherent, 
was imprisoned by the Patriots. The Indians cap- 
tured Campbell, and thus ended the first attempt. 

In the spring of 1778 Gen. George Rogers Clark, 
sailing down the Ohio with raw recruits and immi- 
grant families, found it necessary to make a landing 
and discipline his soldiers. When he reached the 
Falls, he disembarked on Corn Island. At the end 
of a month he moved forward with his fighters, 
leaving the immigrants. These families became the 
real founders of Louisville and christened it in honor 
of King Louis the XVI of France, who aided the 
Americans in their struggle against England. But 
this was not until after General Clark has returned 
from his victorious warfare upon the Indians, and 
had ordered the building of a fort on the Kentucky 
shore opposite the Falls. Those who came originally 
with General Clark and others who came afterward 
held a public meeting April 10, 1779, and appointed 
trustees to lay out the town. John Corbley made the 
survey. One street skirted along the river bank, 
with twelve cross streets at right angles. 

The next developing step was taken by the Vir- 
ginia Legislature, May i, 1780, in confirming this 
action and appointing a board of nine trustees to 
take charge. Louisville continued under trusteeship, 
either by appointment or election, from 1780 to 1828. 
During this period Main, Market and Jefferson streets 
were established. The charter of 1828 transferred 
Louisville to the control of a Mayor and ten Council- 
men. John Bucklin was the first mayor. Since then 
the city has continued to grow and expand. South- 
ward, Eastward and Westward, into its present metro- 
politan proportions. Its recent charter provides the 
most approved form of municipal regulation,

LOUISVILLE: A MANUAL OF FACTS. 



AS A CONVENTION CITY 

OUISVILLE is the leader— the 
natural selection. 

Climatically, conditions are ideal. 

As to accessibility, Louisville is within a 
short day*s ride of fully one-half of Uncle 
Sam's 90,000,000, with luxurious transpor- 
tation facilities, and a choice of routes. 

In the way of Hotels, criticism is impos- 
sible. Accommodations are up-to-the-minute 
and charges reasonable. No gathering has 
yet been too large for Louisville to entertain 
and win the universal plaudit. 

Looking to Convention halls, Louisville is 
abundantly blessed. P'rom its magnificent 
new armory (seating 16,700) to the smaller 
places of assembly (all of them in the heart 
of the city) there is available exactly the 
facilities needful and best adapted. 

For the amusement-loving, there are a 
dozen theaters, and three immense public 
parks purveying unlimited diversion. 

To beguile the wayfarer, there are side 
features innumerable. There is Lincoln 
Farm, a few miles distant; Mammoth Cave 
and Colossal Cavern easily reached via the 
L. & N. Railroad; there is the tomb of 
IS 



LOUISVILLE; A MANUAL OF FACTS. 

Zachary Taylor; the Falls of the Ohio; there 
is — but come to see us and know for your 
own pleasure and instruction how diverse and 
how diverting they are. 

Moreover, our people are adepts in the 
fine art of making the newcomer feel instantly 
and perfectly at home. Genuine, old-fash- 
ioned hospitality is one of their golden as- 
sets. For proof of this, ask any guest who 
has tasted the ambrosia and gone home de- 
lighted and resolved to return the very first 
chance. 

Thus blending the practical with the pleas- 
ure-producing, and keeping in mind that when 
a ^delegate or representative, tourist or pros- 
pector, leaves home he anticipates something 
more than a place to meet, a bed and a bath 
and a bill of fare, Louisville has perfected 
in advance every arrangement for your wel- 
come, your convenience, your entertainment 
— and provided the luxuries. Therefore, we 
renew and repeat and urge the invitation, and 
bid you COME AND WELCOME.

LOUISVILLE: A MANUAL OF FACTS. 



My Old Kentucky Home 



The sun shines bright on the Old Kentucky Home, 

'Tis summer, the darkies are gay, 
The corn-top's ripe, and the meadows are in bloom, 

While the birds make music all the day; 
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor. 

All merry, all happy and bright. 
By 'n by hard times come a knocking at the door. 

Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. 

CHORUS; 

Weep no more, my lady. 

Oh! weep no more to-day! 
We \vl!l sing one song for the Old Kentucky Home, 

For the Old Kentucky Home far away. 

They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon. 

On the meadow, the hill and the shore, 
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, 

On the bench by the old cabin door; 
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, 

With sorrow where all was delight; 
The time has come when the darkies have to part, 

Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. 

The head must bow and the back will have to bend, 

Wherever the darky may go. 
A few more days and the trouble all will end, 

In the field where the sugar canes grow; 
A few more days for to tote the weary load. 

No matter, 'twill never be light; 
A few more days till we totter on the road. 

Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. 



Stephen C. Foster.
